PINO COMBINATION CLOTHES HANGER AND CHEST OF DRAWERS 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Feb. 18, 1946 Fra/hk -Pzlno y @www Patented Aug. 30, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE COMBINATION CLOTHES HANGER AND i CHEST OF DRAWERS This invention relates to furniture and more particularly a combination clothes hanger and chest of drawers.

The primary object of this invention resides in the provision of a combination clothes hanger and chest of drawers adapted to accommodate a complete outt of clothes and accessories to be worn by a woman when dressing quickly for business or other functions.

Another object of this invention resides in the particular construction of the chest of drawers.

A further object of this invention resides in the particular construction of the clothes hanger.

A still further object of this invention resides in the particular manner of removably securing the clothes hanger to the chest of drawers.

One of the salient features of this invention resides in so constructing the chest of drawers and clothes hanger that a woman prior to dressing can select the combination of wearing apparel desired to be worn and dispose it where it can be conveniently reached without having to look around for individual pieces thereof.

With these and and other objects in View, this invention resides in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of elements to be hereinafter more particularly set forth in the specification, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim and, while this disclosure depicts my present conception of the invention, the right is reserved to resort to such changes in construction and arrangement of elements as come within the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application;

Fig. 1 is a front view of the chest of drawers with the clothes hanger disposed thereon.

Fig. 2 is a side view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a perspective View of the clothes hanger.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 6-6 of Fig. 5.

In the present illustration of this invention the numeral 5 designates a combination chest of drawers consisting of an upper drawer to accommodate the dress or suit and other garments to be worn and other drawers 'i therebelow to accommodate other clothes.

Secured in vertical spaced relation on opposite sides of the chest of drawers are guide strips 8 forming vertical guide passages 9 therebetween to slidably and removably receive portions oi clothes hanger consisting of standards Il! extending from a cross bar Il constructed in the form of a coat hanger and having a hook I2 disposed in its medial upper portion to permit the same to be hung on a bar or other support usually found in a closet.

spaced below the aforesaid cross bar and connecting the upper portions of the standards I 0 is a frame or panel I3 in which is disposed a mirror I4. The space I5 between the upper edge of the frame and lower edge of the cross bar is used to permit skirts and the like to be hung on the frame while coats, jackets or the like are hung on the cross bar when removed from the chest of drawers and hung in a closet.

Formed throughout the lengths of the guide strips 8 are aligned holes I6 adapted to register with holes I'I in the lower ends of the standards ID to removably receive pins I3 on each side of the chest of drawers so as to support the clothes hanger the desired height above the chest of drawers. Said pins I8 are preferably attached to the chest of drawers by a string I9 or other suitable element to avoid displacement of the same.

Secured to one side of the chest of drawers, preferably the right side thereof, is a trough 20 adapted to retain that handbag of the individual who is dressing elected to match or harmonize with the outfit to be worn.

With a chest of drawers and clothes hanger constructed in accordance with this invention, certain of a womans wearing apparel is stored in the chest of drawers while certain other garments are disposed on the clothes hanger and hung in a closet and prior to dressing, she selects the desired suit hanging in the closet on any one of a number of hangers similar to that herein disclosed and disposes the same in convenient reach over the chest of drawers by securing the clothes hanger thereto through the instrumentality of passing the pins through the holes in the guide strips and standards.

Through the provision of an article of furniture of the character heretofore set forth, it is apparent that an individual can dispose an elected combination of wearing apparel in convenient reach for dressing in a hurry with the possibility of forgetting to put on all the articles completing the outfit reduced to the minimum and, through the particular construction and arrangement of the clothes hanger relative to the chest of drawers, the article of furniture can be converted into a dressing table by lowering the mirror portion of the clothes hanger where it can be used from a chair in front of the same.

In that the article of furniture is constructed of an assemblage of simple elements it can be manufactured cheaply and sold at a reasonable price.

Having' thus VVdescribed my invention, what I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

The combination with a chest of drawers having a at top with its side edges terminating on those perpendicular planes occupied by the outer surfaces of the sides of the chest of drawers, a pair of perpendicularly disposed guide.

the aforesaid guide strips with its base resting on f v,and Aguides.
